What is a Cavendish Banana?
The Cavendish banana is the most widely-grown banana cultivar. Plantations devoted to this banana can be found in Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, and the bulk of bananas on the shelves of Western supermarkets are Cavendish bananas. Chances are reasonably high that you’ve seen a Cavendish banana recently, because these bananas are ubiquitous, cheaply available year-round in fresh form.
